I love jumping on the correlation = causation beanbag.
Did you know:
Lizards sunbaking on rocks cause increased ice cream consumption? (Just ignore how sunny and hot it is).
Getting taller causes you to have more birthdays?
Having a large vocabulary causes you to read more?
Increasing your facial wrinkles will increase your superannuation payout?
Hey, maybe the babies are building the cellphone towers! Are they made out of Lego?

it has to do with younger people living in urban areas where there are so many cell phone towers and older people who are not having children living in rural areas where there are far fewer cell phone towers.

CELL PHONES CAUSE DEATH!!! NOT LIFE!!

RF Radiated Sperm = SuperSperm

Next: People who text are more likely to get pregnant.

There’s another factor here: Where are you going to find more phones per capita–the community of young adults or a retirement community? Obviously you’ll see more phone use amongst those of reproductive age.

On a related note, a revolutionary new study has found that cigarettes cure cancer! Pardon my french, but what a crock of s***.

It’s well known at this point that the radiation emitted by wireless devices and their associated infrastructure damages sperm. The fact that cell towers often get put in high-density and low-income areas doesn’t mean that they “promote fertility.”

This sounds like just another product of the corporate spin machine that continues to work hard to sow confusion and uncertainty on this issue.

Hmmm. I think maybe the real reason is that childbirth has gone wireless, and no one was informed. Anyone have a job for millions of jobless storks?

Right… this isn’t a “per capita” birthrate, it’s just total birthrate. There are more people, so there are more babies born (and more cell towers for the same larger population).

Or because phone companies put more towers in higher population areas

Maybe it’s because most towers are located in lower income neighborhoods, and it’s well known that birth rates are higher among lower income neighborhoods.
